Sounded to me though like we perhaps got lucky to play our Semi Final first. Bit more rest into the final that helped give us a burst of energy to lead 20-6 by the time Bradford reacted it was too big a lead in a half that lasts just 7.5 minutes.
Perhaps Bilko I do. I don't want to take anything away from their fantastic achievement. I admit the trophy means very little on the grand face of things, but to them lads it's a proud achievement (and a hefty amount of prize money to share!).
But the point still stands Bilko that that Bradford team should have beaten Wigan. It wasn't just our U20's it was a mixture of U20's & U18's. The majority of our Reserve side is in the First Team or out on dual registration. Perhaps this has allowed our U18's to accelerate in their development?
